Voodoo Lagoon

Class horror flick.

Great horror film that takes the mick out of the genre.

Makes a change from flicks that take themselves too seriously. Really enjoyed this as the voodoo tip was different to the usual slasher plot. Quality ending that made up up for slightly confusing plot. Ironic take on an all too often hackneyed genre made this film interesting and deff worth watching.

Some interesting dialogue and scenes, especially the beach scenes.

Direction was good and would watch again.

Enjoy!

Round a friend's house and we put on this uninspiringly packaged DVD that he'd got from God know's where. I was expecting little more than a lagoon and a voodoo doll from a film with a title like this - something to doze off to really -, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying a fast paced, horror flick, an interesting voodoo motif, and a chilling denouement. It's amazing what can be done with a beach, a few bikinis and a few inexperienced actors. This is a remarkably cogent and intelligent film that knocks seven shades of something out of The Beach and Scream. Why hadn't I heard of it before? And why aren't there more horror films made with Voodoo as the main subject?

Here's a tip: If, en route to your vacation on a far off isle, you're asked to fill in a questionaire that includes the query 'What's Your Worst Fear?', do not wait. Grab the nearest parachute, freefall to the ocean and wait to be picked up by a passing steamer.

Obviously, these dumb-as-a-post teens don't click until it's too late, and their various deaths include spiders, rats, buried alive and castration. It all sounds very nasty, but in this farcical enterprise, it's all rather amusing. The cast includes a guy who looks like a young Jim Carrey, and indeed tries to act like him, but sadly he's not fit to lick the dirt off Jimmy's hi-tops. As for the rest, considering their main standouts are the size of their breasts or pecs, I think we can leave them to one side.

Rarely has a film ever felt as cheap as this one, with shoddy camera-work, bad editing and even terrible sound quality abound. Worse still is the plo... Oh I forgot, there isn't one. Just plenty of running about, with LOTS of portentous dialogue from an old guy with an incredibly annoying voice. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does... And the climax is a classic example of the scriptwriter just giving up and smearing fecal matter to the page. What a complete load of...

I don't begrudge people going on a free holiday. I just wish they wouldn't pretend on making a film while they're at it. 1/10

I am a truly dedicated fan of low budget trashy horror films, and of classy intelligent horror films too. Voodoo Lagoon does not fall into either of these categories. My wife and I decided to watch a film and couldn't find much on, we found Voodoo Lagoon and I checked the IMDb reviews and thought "ok, sounds better than it looks" how wrong I was.

Very cheap production values, terrible (and I mean terrible)acting, a bog standard and absurd plot line, some of the cheesiest "torture" scenes (the scene at the beginning of the film will have you in hysterics) It was the biggest waste of money I have made for a long time.

I try to find a good side in most trashy horror flicks and have no problem suspended my disbelief as a general rule, but this film is seriously, seriously poor....it had some nice scenery, that's about the only virtue I can find. I wish it was so bad its good, but it ain't, just plain bad.

Look it's simple if you like a cheap B-Grade horror flick With the standard group of friends drinking and sexing it up You'll get a kick out of this It's a simple B-Grade horror movie about a Group of friends Who go on a holiday to a remote tropical island Not knowing that they have been lured there by the island's evil owner To fulfill an ancient voodoo prophecy It's not bad but it's not great If you don't like Well at least you get to see the the likes of Natalie Blair and her female company skinny dipping lol But being serious it's not that bad it's okay if your into the Horror genre If your a romantic comedy person then don't watch it Because you'll give it a bad review But if you enjoy a B-Grade horror flick you may like it
